I know it is extremely hard for Hobie sailors to say the word "formula". They rather call the different boats : Stock 2000, stock 2001, stock 2002 , ... stock 2006. Even though the year 2006 isn't even here yet. Before we know it you can buy a stock 2010 boat in the year 2007.

Anything to not have to say "FORMULA", right ?

Even when refering to my boat you rather call it "a one-design one-off" than what it truly is a FORMULA boat. Forgive me when I have trouble understanding what a "One-design one-off" exactly is. Seems to me that these two describtions are mutually exclusive.

I know, I know. Formula is such a clear expression of "NOT ONE-DESIGN" !

The names "stock 200X" are alot less ... ehhh ... clear and hurtful to One-design junkies.

Just pathetic guys. it's just pathetic.
